HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
The longevity of your results will vary based on your Skin type, Health, and Lifestyle. In general, permanent makeup will always be present. The intensity of your permanent makeup fades in the course of time. However, this is completely dependent from person to person. This is partly due to the natural cell renewal, the immune system, and the influence of UV light. darker pigments tend to last longer. proper UVA/UVB protection will prevent color from fading as quickly when in sunny climates. aggressive skin treatments such as laser, chemical peel, dermabrasion etc. do not get along with micropigmentation. on average our clients come back annually for a touch-up.

Absolutely. Permanent makeup is not intended as replacement for evening makeup, it serves in particular to accentuate. Additional makeup can always be applied for an evening out.
CAN I GET MY OLD TATTOO COVERED UP?
It is possible to cover up old Microblading or brow tattoos if they are at least 60% faded. To determine if your brows are 60% faded you must schedule an in-person consultation prior to booking an appointment. If you show up with old saturated tattoos you will risk a cancelled appointment. Virtual consultation will not guarantee the determination due to poor lighting or connection. More sessions may be needed in-order to cover completely especially for color corrections.
